Hello, My Name Is

A big theme of college is the idea that you get an opportunity to recreate yourself to the image that you would like. However, we’re still at a malleable time in our life where we’re living in an environment where you are interacting with fellow students every day. These interactions can help or hinder your process of finding your own identity and self-worth. This photo series, titled “Hello, My Name Is,” tries to look at the way labels and the way people address us and how it affects our creation and preservation of self-identity. I went around Ohio Wesleyan’s campus and asked students to write down what is applied to them by others. These were some of their answers.
